The Japanese can make some absolutely beautiful things, and it would be my honor to give something back to them, after all the inspiration they have provided me.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02839013868513125880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-80526488535491949582011-03-20T21:12:32.402-04:002011-03-20T21:12:32.402-04:00Thanks Bonnie!

We enjoyed our time in Japan and have a great respect for the Japanese people. They will get through this with grace. I will be putting together a quilt or two to send when the 1st of May gets here.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684233135863641715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-44545754691758563012011-03-20T00:32:11.682-04:002011-03-20T00:32:11.682-04:00Fall over seven times, get up eight - Japanese pro...Fall over seven times, get up eight - Japanese proverb.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199146842146306456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-67980331540795533232011-03-19T23:51:18.058-04:002011-03-19T23:51:18.058-04:00I put a link on my blog to your blog so more peopl...I put a link on my blog to your blog so more people can find this information......I'll be working on a few quilts to send.<br /><br />Thanks Bonnie and Happy SewingKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430521425239584348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-87600825034215613012011-03-19T22:41:47.556-04:002011-03-19T22:41:47.556-04:00I sent two quilts today.

I had one of your earlier mysteries (Carolina Crossroads) on my design wall (just needed the inset triangular pieces to finish it). But then I realized that instead of another queen-size quilt for me, I could re-purpose the blocks to make 3 smaller quilts suitable for kids (straight setting, not on-point). 2 of these quilts are ready for borders. I hope to have all 3 ready for quilting before I go to bed today. I hope to get all 9 quilts shipped to Quilters Newsletter by next weekend.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13938319074618443666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-85958175608551976572011-03-19T20:52:50.912-04:002011-03-19T20:52:50.912-04:00I'm collecting quilt squares to make into a qu...I'm collecting quilt squares to make into a quilt if anyone wants to send me just a block. See my blog post today! One block might be easier for some than a whole quilt! I wanted to help and thought it would be a LOT MORE fun to do it together!!!bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06968732077743225057noreply@blogger.com
